Programs & Initiatives

AACTE addresses a range of professional issues through its programming. In addition to signature work in areas such as advocacy, events, and professional learning, the Association collaborates on programs and intiatives for its members.

AACTE Holmes Program

Since 1991, the AACTE Holmes Scholars® Program has built a pipeline of education leaders and scholars, reflecting the richness of America’s student population. The program supports master’s, doctoral, and post-doctoral students through mentorship, peer support, and professional development opportunities. Holmes Scholars include individuals from historically underrepresented backgrounds, as well as those whose academic work advances fairness, belonging, and equal opportunity in education.

Global Leadership

This professional exchange provides structured opportunities to engage with Singaporean counterparts through dialogue, collaboration, and shared learning. Participants will take part in small-group discussions with educators and institutional leaders, interactive Q&A sessions, collaborative problem-solving, presentations from Singaporean experts, and comparative conversations about shared challenges. The exchange is designed to be collaborative rather than observational, emphasizing mutual learning, meaningful dialogue, and relationship building.
